apalachicola national forest florida

11
00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:37,120
highway

12
00:00:42,470 --> 00:00:41,520
california on the west coast to south

13
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:42,480
florida

14
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:44,960
i was with my six kids and pulling a

15
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:47,120
trailer with all my belongings and three

16
00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:48,000
dogs

17
00:00:54,389 --> 00:00:52,160
i was in a big suv it was around two am

18
00:00:56,069 --> 00:00:54,399
the kids were all asleep and my daughter

19
00:00:58,229 --> 00:00:56,079
about thirteen years old

20
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:58,239
was in the passenger seat to make sure i

21
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,440
stayed awake

22
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:01,840
so after traveling highway 10 for three

23
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:02,640
days

24
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:05,119
i had decided since we reached florida

25
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:06,880
we would cut through the state to save

26
00:01:10,469 --> 00:01:08,000
some time

27
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,479
so we got off highway 10 on an off road

28
00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:12,000
in hopes of getting gas and

29
00:01:17,670 --> 00:01:15,200
making some time it was along route 27

30
00:01:19,749 --> 00:01:17,680
in apalachicola national forest

31
00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:19,759
we came to the first little gas station

32
00:01:23,749 --> 00:01:20,960
that we found

33
00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:23,759
it was closed i was nervous because we

34
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:24,799
needed gas

35
00:01:28,310 --> 00:01:27,040
and were running on fumes so we

36
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:28,320
continued on

37
00:01:32,789 --> 00:01:30,560
i told my daughter to keep an eye out

38
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:32,799
for deer crossing the two-lane deserted

39
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:33,759
highway

40
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:36,000
because hitting a deer could kill us all

41
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:37,920
and turn us over due to the trailer we

42
00:01:41,590 --> 00:01:39,040
were pulling

43
00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:41,600
we were traveling around 45 miles per

44
00:01:44,469 --> 00:01:42,399
hour

45
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:44,479
i remember this so clearly like it was

46
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:47,200
yesterday but it was five years ago

47
00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:49,520
we had our brights on because the road

48
00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:51,200
was dark and winding

49
00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:54,640
a few houses but far between as we came

50
00:01:57,749 --> 00:01:55,600
around the corner

51
00:01:58,789 --> 00:01:57,759
in the headlights on the road was a lot

52
00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:58,799
of blood

53
00:02:01,990 --> 00:02:01,439
very fresh blood and on the side of the

54
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:02,000
road

55
00:02:06,149 --> 00:02:04,240
was this six or seven foot tall creature

56
00:02:07,429 --> 00:02:06,159
on its hind legs hunched over a dead

57
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:07,439
deer and eating it

58
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:09,920
it did not look up not even when my

59
00:02:13,190 --> 00:02:11,280
headlights hit it

60
00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:13,200
it was using its arms like a human

61
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,400
eating the deer

62
00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:16,560
it had a very muscular body pointing

63
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,440
ears

64
00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:20,080
also a long muzzle if you ever saw a

65
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:21,599
werewolf this was it

66
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:24,640
skinny lower torso wide chest but used

67
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,120
arms and hands just like a human

68
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:29,280
if it looked up i would have died i

69
00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:31,040
looked over at my daughter

70
00:02:34,150 --> 00:02:32,879
we were both seeing the same thing at

71
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,160
the same time

72
00:02:38,309 --> 00:02:36,480
tears came to my eyes instantly and at

73
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:38,319
the same time we both said

74
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:41,200
werewolf i sped up i was scared it would

75
00:02:44,949 --> 00:02:42,239
run towards us

76
00:02:46,630 --> 00:02:44,959
and jump on my trailer as we got about a

77
00:02:49,110 --> 00:02:46,640
mile away my heart was still

78
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:49,120
beating so hard my daughter and i were

79
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,400
so freaked out

80
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:52,800
it was a werewolf i have never been a

81
00:02:56,869 --> 00:02:54,480
believer in a werewolf

82
00:02:58,149 --> 00:02:56,879
i don't watch movies or have any reason

83
00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:58,159
to make this up

84
00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:00,480
and as a matter of fact until today i

85
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:02,879
have only told a handful of people

86
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:14,229
all upright wolf like creature

87
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:16,480
encountered in sanalo mexico bosses

88
00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:17,280
forest

89
00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:19,519
my encounter happened when i was a teen

90
00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,360
around 2005.

91
00:03:25,190 --> 00:03:23,519
i lived in a small village not too far

92
00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,200
from where my encounter happened in the

93
00:03:30,229 --> 00:03:27,680
balsa forest in sinaloa mexico

94
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:30,239
i did not tell anyone until years later

95
00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:31,680
my friend and i were quite the

96
00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:32,640
troublemakers

97
00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:35,040
i will not lie and we decided to go off

98
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:36,000
on our own

99
00:03:40,149 --> 00:03:38,239
we went to balsa's forest and we did not

100
00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,159
go to camp but we messed around and

101
00:03:44,789 --> 00:03:42,239
played until dark began to come

102
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,799
i was never fearful of the dark it never

103
00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:46,000
gave me fear

104
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:48,239
so as dark began to fall upon us we were

105
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:50,480
fine and it was not unusual for me to

106
00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:52,400
just wander off and go to my friends

107
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:53,920
without telling me mum

108
00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,480
like i said i was pretty bad back then

109
00:04:01,030 --> 00:03:58,879
and i never listened to my mother anyway

110
00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:01,040
now the forest was hot and humid so we

111
00:04:04,309 --> 00:04:02,480
had no shirts on

112
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:04,319
we took them off and casually hung them

113
00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:05,760
around our shoulders

114
00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:08,159
we wore shorts and sandals i was

115
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:10,159
actually tormenting a snake with a stick

116
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:11,840
while my friend laughed at me

117
00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:13,680
the dark king yet the whole moon shone

118
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:15,200
bright down through the trees

119
00:04:20,229 --> 00:04:17,919
so it was okay we could still see we put

120
00:04:22,150 --> 00:04:20,239
our shirts on as it gets colder at night

121
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:22,160
we were getting ready to leave and i

122
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,080
thought i knew everything back then

123
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:26,800
i was very wrong we heard footsteps off

124
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:28,479
in front of us somewhere but they were

125
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:29,280
so heavy

126
00:04:32,629 --> 00:04:31,440
not really like human yet clearly two

127
00:04:34,390 --> 00:04:32,639
footed steps

128
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:34,400
we were more interested in seeing what

129
00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,720
it was and my friend suggest we hide in

130
00:04:41,909 --> 00:04:38,800
the foliage to scare whatever it was

131
00:04:43,670 --> 00:04:41,919
a person or an animal we just wanted fun

132
00:04:44,790 --> 00:04:43,680
we got in the foliage and giggled to

133
00:04:47,189 --> 00:04:44,800
each other and watched

134
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:47,199
waiting the thuds became louder and it

135
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:49,360
came out into the opening so fast like a

136
00:04:53,510 --> 00:04:50,400
raging bull

137
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:53,520
it was notable now we are terrified this

138
00:04:57,350 --> 00:04:54,800
beast was around seven

139
00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:57,360
foot tall maybe more it was black and

140
00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:57,919
gray

141
00:05:02,629 --> 00:05:00,720
like silver in places its fur was matted

142
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:02,639
and horrible with a smell like i have

143
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:04,000
never smelled again

144
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:06,400
i cannot describe that smell but it made

145
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:07,280
you wretch

146
00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:09,600
the ears were pointed we never said a

147
00:05:12,950 --> 00:05:11,360
word to each other as we stared at it

148
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:12,960
sniffing the air like a wolf on the

149
00:05:16,310 --> 00:05:14,240
scent of its prey

150
00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:16,320
you could see defined body muscles and

151
00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:17,680
arms yes

152
00:05:21,430 --> 00:05:19,919
arms and hands with very long unusual

153
00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:21,440
fingers with claws

154
00:05:25,189 --> 00:05:23,919
it had a very long snout you could see

155
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:25,199
it had fang-like teeth

156
00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:28,000
dog-like in many ways but much too big

157
00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:30,160
it had backwards bent back legs and the

158
00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:31,919
strangest feet i have ever seen

159
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:34,479
elongated with three-toes huge toes it

160
00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,840
looked so strange

161
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:37,520
it then suddenly snapped its head

162
00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:39,440
towards us and stared with intent of

163
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,160
evil

164
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:42,560
you could tell its eyes were amber and

165
00:05:46,390 --> 00:05:43,759
slanted looking

166
00:05:47,029 --> 00:05:46,400
we just ran we did not know what else to

167
00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:47,039
do

168
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:49,199
we made a big mistake because it was now

169
00:05:52,629 --> 00:05:51,039
too dark to see clearly and in all the

170
00:05:54,629 --> 00:05:52,639
panic we thought we were lost

171
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:54,639
and we just went to nearest large tree

172
00:05:58,550 --> 00:05:56,720
and climbed as far up as we could

173
00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:58,560
we sat there in the dark listening to

174
00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:00,479
thudding steps through the forest

175
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:02,479
we stayed huddled in that tree all night

176
00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:04,240
waiting to be eaten or killed

177
00:06:07,990 --> 00:06:06,880
it never came the next thing i remember

178
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:08,000
it was morning

179
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:09,919
you don't know fear like that praying in

180
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,039
a tree for your life

181
00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,680
cold and terrified being in danger from

182
00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:15,759
falling from the tree did not matter

183
00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:17,840
that thing did matter when the morning

184
00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:19,919
came we knew we are way back deep into

185
00:06:22,469 --> 00:06:20,960
the forest

186
00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:22,479
funny how fear can change your

187
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:24,720
perception when i got home my mom

188
00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,360
scolded

189
00:06:29,670 --> 00:06:27,280
shouted and went on so long about where

190
00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:29,680
had i been i had never been shouted at

191
00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:30,880
like that before

192
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:33,440
i never told anyone my friend and i

193
00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:34,960
never did until later

194
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:37,120
my mom thought her shots changed me but

195
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:38,800
no that thing changed me

196
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:41,360
and i did not stray again now i live in

197
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:43,280
london england but it will stay with me

198
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:51,350
ch

199
00:06:55,110 --> 00:06:53,350
werewolf encountered a long roadway in

200
00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:55,120
calvert county maryland

201
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:57,280
this is a rather short encounter because

202
00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:59,360
i was riding in a car and basically saw

203
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,960
it and rode past it

204
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:02,880
i have been past the site hundreds of

205
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:04,960
times since then but have never gotten

206
00:07:09,589 --> 00:07:06,880
out and walked around the area

207
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:09,599
maybe i should this encounter changed my

208
00:07:12,629 --> 00:07:10,400
life

209
00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,639
when i read the encounters by others i

210
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:14,160
never discount them

211
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:16,479
why because i know what i saw and who am

212
00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:19,199
i to question someone else's experience

213
00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,360
sure there are a lot of made-up stories

214
00:07:25,350 --> 00:07:23,280
and creepypasta out here

215
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:25,360
but i strive to find credible sounding

216
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:26,319
accounts

217
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:28,160
it was evening and my family and i were

218
00:07:31,589 --> 00:07:29,840
coming back from chesapeake beach

219
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:31,599
maryland from having dinner with my

220
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:32,160
brother

221
00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:35,680
mom and dad i was 15 or 16 years old and

222
00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:37,280
in the back right passenger seat

223
00:07:40,870 --> 00:07:38,880
chilling with my brother

224
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:40,880
riding along i'm just looking out the

225
00:07:43,990 --> 00:07:42,639
window and there is a little road that

226
00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:44,000
merges onto the main road

227
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:46,080
on the left so as we merge we pick up a

228
00:07:49,749 --> 00:07:47,120
little speed

229
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:49,759
we are going maybe 25 to 30 miles per

230
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:50,160
hour

231
00:07:53,589 --> 00:07:52,240
and you have to cross this little bridge

232
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:53,599
and it's really bumpy

233
00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:56,080
so we slowed even more to maybe 20 miles

234
00:07:58,790 --> 00:07:57,039
per hour

235
00:08:01,270 --> 00:07:58,800
once we do that i look up ahead and

236
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:01,280
about 75 yards ahead i see something

237
00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:02,800
standing on the wood edge off to the

238
00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,520
right a little

239
00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:05,199
but it was exactly at the edge of the

240
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:07,919
woods it had both arms on a tree just

241
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:08,800
standing there

242
00:08:11,990 --> 00:08:10,800
meaning its right arm was on a tree

243
00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:12,000
about shoulder height

244
00:08:15,350 --> 00:08:14,160
and its left arm was on a tree at about

245
00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:15,360
shoulder height

246
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:17,440
so its arms were basically spread out

247
00:08:21,749 --> 00:08:19,360
with its hands on the trees

248
00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:21,759
it was about seven foot tall maybe even

249
00:08:25,909 --> 00:08:23,759
taller had a wolf-like face

250
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:25,919
only larger like a dire wolf from game

251
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:26,960
of thrones

252
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:28,960
it had really broad shoulders very

253
00:08:32,230 --> 00:08:30,080
muscular arms

254
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:32,240
a barrel chest and it narrowed the rest

255
00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,399
of the way down the abdominal area

256
00:08:37,509 --> 00:08:36,240
it was dark brown and the hair was

257
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:37,519
medium length

258
00:08:41,110 --> 00:08:39,200
i didn't get a great look at the legs

259
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,120
because it locked eyes with me

260
00:08:45,750 --> 00:08:43,839
it knew i saw it and it saw me i saw it

261
00:08:47,269 --> 00:08:45,760
a good distance up ahead and was like

262
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:47,279
what the hell is that standing on the

263
00:08:51,509 --> 00:08:49,920
wood edge soon as i said that to myself

264
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:51,519
i locked eyes with it

265
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:54,160
i saw it for a good 10 to 15 seconds

266
00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:55,920
because of how far up ahead i first

267
00:08:59,190 --> 00:08:58,080
noticed it moving around and how slow we

268
00:09:01,829 --> 00:08:59,200
were traveling

269
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:01,839
its eyes followed mine the entire time

270
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:03,920
it took my breath when i first realized

271
00:09:07,430 --> 00:09:05,120
what i was looking at

272
00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:07,440
and my first thought was god that thing

273
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:08,399
is ugly

274
00:09:11,910 --> 00:09:10,480
it had very pointy features and it

275
00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:11,920
didn't look like a bigfoot

276
00:09:15,509 --> 00:09:14,399
but an actual werewolf a lot of people

277
00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,519
call it a dogman

278
00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:17,519
but i'm more inclined to say this was an

279
00:09:20,949 --> 00:09:18,800
actual wolfman

280
00:09:22,389 --> 00:09:20,959
i said out loud to my family did you

281
00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:22,399
guys see that thing

282
00:09:25,509 --> 00:09:24,720
obviously they were like see what

283
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:25,519
another thing

284
00:09:28,790 --> 00:09:27,120
this was in southern maryland where

285
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:28,800
there are no bears or other large

286
00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:29,680
animals

287
00:09:33,350 --> 00:09:31,680
but i asked my family over and over if

288
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:33,360
they saw it and they started getting

289
00:09:36,790 --> 00:09:34,640
annoyed with me

290
00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:36,800
i told people over the years but i was

291
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:38,800
only ridiculed and teased about it

292
00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:41,200
so i just stopped so that was my

293
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:42,320
encounter

294
00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:44,160
my family still doesn't believe me

295
00:09:47,269 --> 00:09:46,080
either and most other people think i'm

296
00:09:49,750 --> 00:09:47,279
crazy or lying

297
00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:49,760
so i very rarely tell anyone about it

298
00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:50,720
but it was real

299
00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:52,959
it was there i just want to know the

300
00:10:04,790 --> 00:09:54,800
double use of the creature

301
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:04,800
where what why etc s then shake shifts

302
00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:06,480
into dog-like entity near granada

303
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:07,440
nicaragua

304
00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:10,320
this encounter happened in may 1989. we

305
00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:12,160
went on a school trip visiting the ruins

306
00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:14,320
of an old sandinistas outpost that was

307
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:15,600
politically historic

308
00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:17,600
located by the town called granada in

309
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:20,640
nicaragua we were 27 kids all together

310
00:10:23,670 --> 00:10:22,320
and had special permission from our

311
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:23,680
parents to go there

312
00:10:27,190 --> 00:10:25,120
i happened to notice that there were

313
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:27,200
houses by the place where the historical

314
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:28,160
site was

315
00:10:32,150 --> 00:10:29,680
they were on the hells of a mountain

316
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:32,160
where i stupidly had gone to investigate

317
00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:34,240
the houses were old and made of wood

318
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:36,000
they were about 60 yards from the

319
00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:37,360
historical site

320
00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:39,360
as i came by the first house an elderly

321
00:10:42,230 --> 00:10:41,360
man came and asked me why i wasn't with

322
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:42,240
my group

323
00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:44,880
i told him why do you care he responded

324
00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:46,560
in an angry tone because there are

325
00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:48,560
things out here that will take you

326
00:10:51,670 --> 00:10:50,480
our country is wild but only if you

327
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:51,680
travel in the mountains

328
00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:54,240
rivers lakes are by the sea so i paid no

329
00:10:58,069 --> 00:10:55,600
mind to his warning

330
00:10:59,990 --> 00:10:58,079
it was around 5 30 p.m and i was about

331
00:11:02,069 --> 00:11:00,000
100 yards from the historical

332
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:02,079
site as soon as the teacher blew her

333
00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:03,839
whistle we were to regroup at the bus in

334
00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:04,880
order to leave

335
00:11:08,550 --> 00:11:06,560
i was sitting next to the tree line

336
00:11:09,910 --> 00:11:08,560
eating a sandwich when behind me i heard

337
00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:09,920
a distinct noise

338
00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:11,680
it was a growling sound that literally

339
00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:13,279
shook all of my nerves

340
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:14,959
i immediately turned back to see if

341
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:16,720
anything was coming my way

342
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:19,120
suddenly i heard the teacher's whistle i

343
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:20,640
figured i had a good two or three

344
00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:22,000
minutes to get up the tree

345
00:11:26,069 --> 00:11:23,920
and see if i could spot anything so i

346
00:11:28,310 --> 00:11:26,079
did what i saw crawling on the forest

347
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:28,320
floor did not make any sense at all

348
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:30,240
it was a man lying on the ground about

349
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:32,560
80 or 100 feet in the wood line

350
00:11:36,949 --> 00:11:34,640
his body was jerking as if in extreme

351
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:36,959
pain i saw that his back looked sweaty

352
00:11:39,269 --> 00:11:38,640
and as he jerked he turned his face

353
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:39,279
towards me

354
00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:41,200
and i could see his eyes were red and

355
00:11:44,230 --> 00:11:43,279
his nose was literally turning black and

356
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:44,240
elongated

357
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:46,320
i quickly climbed down the tree grabbed

358
00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:47,600
my backpack and left

359
00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:50,079
running to the bus apparently i was the

360
00:11:53,509 --> 00:11:51,360
last to return

361
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:53,519
as the bus started to drive off i said a

362
00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:55,360
prayer to protect me from this monster

363
00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:56,639
that roams the land

364
00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:58,560
i asked my grandpa the next day about

365
00:12:01,750 --> 00:12:00,160
this things that i had seen

366
00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:01,760
he grew up there and was a native from

367
00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:03,440
our country and his dad i've been a

368
00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:05,279
coffee farmer which is one of the things

369
00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:07,600
my country still trades to the us

370
00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:09,200
he explained that the locals had a

371
00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:10,959
curfew and that they never went out

372
00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:12,639
unarmed to pick the coffee because of

373
00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:13,600
these things

374
00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:15,040
they had suspected they were both

375
00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:17,200
animals and humans and practiced devil

376
00:12:19,829 --> 00:12:18,000
worshipping

377
00:12:22,069 --> 00:12:19,839
and traded their souls in order to

378
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,079
